Where Artists Create - Glass Beads

Today we explore artist Kevin Irwin's beautiful hand sculpted glass bead work. For a photographer, the array of colorful glass rods, all artistically arranged by glorious colors is enough, but watching her light the fire and begin the intricate work of making her magical beads is challenging but fascinating. When this process is done, she begins creating her unique bracelets and necklaces.

If you work in more than one medium, which one is your favorite? "I love glass work, but my body could no longer do much of it… so I would say the clay work because I still get to use glass( glazes)."

WELCOME!

Thank you for visiting Birmingham Through My Lens. In June,2008 I created Birmingham Alabama Daily Photo and posted a photo a day via the City Daily Photo community until January 2, 2016. This blog, although not daily, is a place where I will share my photographic journey from my hometown.

DO YOU LOVE PARIS? SO DO I!
